aserl-collection-strategy Mailing List: Scite.ai, Consensus, and Other Tools

[Palazzolo, Christopher (cpalazz]

Please pardon duplication!

Good morning.

Here at Emory Libraries, we are starting and expediting a process to establish a policy re: AI product promotion and/or acquisition. As I am sure many of you have experienced, vendors are offering quite a few options (most for additional purchase) for such products. Two vendors in particular have been relatively persistent—Scite.ai and Consensus. Note that Emory has not yet signed on to a university-wide academic AI tool such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot Academic, but is currently exploring such alternatives. Supposedly, a new AI policy is to be unveiled in December. In any case, I am curious if anyone on these lists has a site license to either Scite.ai and/or Consensus and if so, who is paying, who negotiated the license, etc.

Thanks for any and all information you’re able to share!

Chris
